The error message seems reasonably clear by unix standards. Your video card doesn't have enough memory for the 1280 x 1024 mode. It has only 1Mb (1024k) and needs 1280 * 1024 = 1280k: >(--) VGA256: videoram: 1024k Remove the line specifying 1280 x 1024 from your configuration file. [No, I don't know why it's a fatal error, since there are plenty of other modes listed for which there is enough memory.] -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Ooooh!
